Antena 1's headquarters was seized by the Romanian state on 8 August 2014, due to a judicial sentence against Dan Voiculescu, the founder of Intact Media Group. The building may be sold in order for the state to recuperate the loss brought to it as a result of the fraudulent privatization of the Institute for Alimentary Research in 2003.[2] After company employees destroyed the interior of the building whilst moving out, the building required refurbishment before being placed on sale.[3] The National Agency for the Management of Seized Assets (ANABI) has placed the building for sale on its website.[4]
